Morag MacInnes, Teaching Poetry to Brickworkers:
"Of course you get schmaltzy (send me the pillow that you dream on – o wot? Not really…) and bathetic – and banal – like any genre. But at its best, it’s wonderful, on work, poverty, death, love, ageing. Reba McIntyre is great on the subtleties of betrayal –
‘He said, have you ever cheated on me?
Has there been somebody else?
Is there someone that you love more than me?
Someone you can’t forget?
Have you ever cheated on me?
I said: only in my mind.’
Where’s your Othello now?"
